Bottle from The Gull, North Vancouver; 3/23/18
Hazy blond colour. Nice, delicate aroma, sour, not really Lambic, but good enough. Highly carbonated, it has a juicy sour base, some residual sweetness, it's a bit dough-y in the background, traces of grapefruit peel, traces of funk.
Pretty good Sour.

Bottle at Deschutes in PDX. Pours a bright orange hue with a small white head. A big deep funky sour fruity nose. Sour lemons, husky grains, deep funky base. Lots of yeasty funk. Very good. Sharp at times. Great label.

500mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is very complex, with lots of wild yeast, some leather, horse blanket, and some pepper. Flavour is along the same lines, with leather, lots of wild yeast, horse blanket, spicy pepper, and a touch of pear skins. Just a wonderful wild yeast character here. Deep and elegant. Lovely.

500 ml bottle. Pours amber with light to moderate head. Aromas of...gueuze - barnyard, grapes, old oak, and green berries. Sharp flavors follow same though not as exciting, with a bit of alcohol adding pepper. With the exception of the ABV, pretty Belgian for West Coast brewery. A tad expensive though...

Waxed bottle pour, enjoyed as a sneak peak at the Beveridge Place Pub Deschutes 30th Anniversary event. A somewhat clean golden orange pour. What a treat this is, and a blast to cheers it with so many folks that are here to celebrate simply how great craft beer is. A slightly tart front, has a touch of white wine character. Some pear as advertised. Quite a bit actually. Thicker body. Has a total lambic feel for me. A really nice sour to celebrate with these guys. Hey, if you guys are 30, that means I'm next! Shit..

Waxed bottle from Corti Bros. Pours hazy/translucent gold with a white head. Gueze aroma. Lightly sour fruits. Med body or so. Flavor is slightly funky gueuze and the fruits are hard to parse. Pear I can get. It also is spicy/peppery. A rather different sort of drink, but all these sour/wilds are rather different to me. This one is very approachable. All the funk/spice moderates to a lightly sour/tart fruit drink, which clearly is still like a gueze. Great stuff from Deschutes.

16.9 oz waxed bottle. Aroma is lacto, apple cider vinegar, wood, vanilla, strawberry. Pours hazy golden with a two finger white head with decent retention. Taste is sour (7/10) with flavors of the barrel, lacto, floral notes, peppery, berry. Very tasty and complex. Seems a little less full-bodied than it should be, but that's a minor complaint. Deschutes is stepping up their sour game for sure. Every sour I've had from this brewery previously has been overly woody and harsh. This is the first one that I would put up against a real gueuze with no qualms at all.
